tote 843 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Here's a couple of nests with eggs,can you guess the birds? Edited August 29, 2007 by tote Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Top one must be Red Grouse, surely? Purely based on the number of eggs there and the fact that they're niether Pheasent or Partridge. (Not English Partridge anyway). Bottom one? Greenfinch? (Just a pretty well wild stab, but I seem to remember one or two pointers that lead me to think that). Both lovely clutches anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 That would have been my guess....but, to be different i will go with red grouse/goldfinch... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Spot on Ditch,Red Grouse and Greenfinch. Good god! I was flaberghasted enough when JD agreed with my assessment; But to find I was right?! And I've never even found a Greenfinches nest! It was just something I once read about their eggs. Tote; Expect a PM about those other two! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
